Overtime at $17/hour
Hours beyond 40/week pay time-and-a-half: $26/hour. Overtime isn't taxed at a higher rate: bigger checks just have more withheld up front. And for 2025–2028, the extra $8.50 of each overtime hour is deductible on your federal return, so part of that withholding comes back as a refund.
